This paper deals with the problem of using the tactile feedback generated by a robotic skin for discriminating a human hand touch from a generic contact. Humans understand collaboration intentions through different sensing modalities such as vision, hearing and touch. Among them, a physical interact…
This paper deals with the problem of estimating the pose of tactile elements (i.e. taxels) composing a robotic skin covering the whole body of a robot. This problem arises when a robot skin technology has to be integrated into an already existing robotic platform. To date, the integration process is…
In this paper a novel multi-modal tactile sensor is presented, featuring a matrix of capacitive pressure sensors, a microphone for acoustic measurements and proximity and ambient light sensor. The sensor is fully embedded and can be easily integrated at mechanical and electrical levels with industri…
